Love Poem: Serenade

Serenade

Traces of pain haunt your reveries, 
   veils of sadness your beautiful face;
you're where demons of wretchedness 
   render you helpless, where fear is 
relentless and respite seems light years away;
   where love is impossible, dreams become 
nightmares that gnaw at your soul like a 
   mordant regret. Glimmers of promise 
will lighten your sad heart and visions of 
   gladness will one day come true; believe 
in your goodness, this badness will fade
   and you'll sing once again to love's sweet serenade.
